GP light, valves adjusted, still no luck, engine misses

I have done the valve adj yesterday night, changed fuel filters and I still have the same problem:engine is missing at idle for a couple of minutes and smokes;

-no glow plug light: everything checks OK but the light just won't turn on(checked fuse, replaced all GP last week, voltage is ok at all 5 pins and all 5 gp, relay clicks ON ,everything looks fine, still no light, don't know what else to do);

-adjusted valves and it seems to runs smoother after FIRST 8-10 minutes at idle, the first 8 smokes and sputters and misses;

-I checked the timing chain and it looks nice and tight +timing is not off;
-I know for sure compression is fine bc I can start the car without glow and it runs the same for the first 10 min, then BAM eveything is fine.
-air filter is ok, EGR valve looks good, NO fuel leaks....;

I'm starting to regret I bought this 85 300T D. I mean it's just stupid that I have to wait 10 min every morning till the engine stops missing to drive the damn thing down the road. I tried almost anythign I could think of and it still sputters smoke and misses at idle. In Michigan we're still in the 80s now BUT what am I gonna do when it goes to 10-20 this winter??
